Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Dental patients of university-based prosthodontic department (primary, secondary, and tertiary care clinic)

Who may be able to join

  • General criteria:
  • Age: 18 to 70
  • Edentulous mandible with reduced bone level in the posterior region (> 5 mm and < 8 mm above nerve conduit)
  • Physical and mental condition that allow surgery and a 5-year follow-up period to be carried out without foreseeable problems
  • Obtained informed consent from the patient
  • Specific criteria:
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Limited vertical space for implant placement, where conventional implants with lengths of more than 4 mm cannot be used
  • Tooth loss or extraction at least 8 weeks before implant surgery
  • Healthy implantation site
  • Favorable and stable occlusal relationship
  • Complete denture in the mandible. If no denture available, an interims prosthesis will be fitted
  • Natural full dentition or sufficient complete or partial dentures in the maxilla

Who cannot join

  • General criteria:
  • Any conditions or circumstances which would interfere with the requirements for oral surgery
  • Allergy to any metallic implant component
  • Acute, untreated periodontitis
  • Previous oro-maxillo-facial radiotherapy
  • Any disorders in the planned implant area such as previous tumors or chronic bone disease (e.g., rheumatoid disease)
Show all 17Show fewer
  • Any ongoing application of interfering medication (steroid therapy, bisphosphonate, etc.)
  • Alcohol or drug abuse
  • Heavy smoking (>10 cigarettes/day)
  • Uncontrolled diabetes
  • Severe bruxism or other destructive oral habits
  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Specific criteria:
  • Need for a major bone regeneration technique
  • Infections in adjacent tissue of the planned implantation site.
  • Bleeding on probing (BOP) and plaque index (PI) higher 25%
  • Insufficient bone volume in the posterior region for placing a Straumann Roxolid® / SLActive® 4mm short implant and in the interforaminal region for placing a Straumann Roxolid® / SLActive® implant with a minimum length of 10 mm determined by radiographic analysis (OPG)

About this study

Official title: Prospective Clinical Study of Straumann Roxolid®/SLactive® Short Implants in Edentulous Mandible

Main aim of this study was to assess survival rates of short implants with a length of 4 mm in the edentulous mandible after 1, 3, and 5 years.

Read the detailed description

It is hypothesized that survival rates after 1, 3, and 5 years of Straumann Roxolid® / SLActive® 4 mm short implants do not differ from values of Straumann SLActive implants with more than 4 mm length in the same clinical situation.

Being tested
Dental Implants (Straumann Roxolid® / SLActive®)
Medical subject headings
Tooth Loss, Jaw, Edentulous

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dental Implants (Straumann Roxolid® / SLActive®)Device

    In this study the 4 mm implants will be inserted in the area surrounding 36/46. The implant diameters will be defined based on the patient's situation.

    In the interforaminal region, two implants of conventional length with a minimum of 10 mm will be inserted. The implant diameter and the length will be defined based on the patient's situation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Survival

    Survival of implants and suprastructure. Measure: survival rates

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Implant stability

    Within-subject comparison of primary (at implant placement) and secondary (at implant exposure) stability of short versus regular length implants.

    Measure / device: Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA)

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Success

    Success of implants and suprastructure. Measure: success rates

    • Biological success:
    • No detectable clinical mobility (hand testing)
    • No radiolucency surrounding the total surface of the implant
    • No persistent pain refractory to medical therapy
    • No recurrent peri-implant infection
    • Peri-implant infection: peri-implant Probing Depth (PD), Plaque Index (Pl), and Bleeding on Probing (BoP)
    • Bone loss: standardized intra-oral radiography with long-cone parallel technique
    • Technical success:
    • No screw loosening
    • No fracture of metal base
    • No fracture of veneering material

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Oral health-related quality of life

    Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Measure: questionnaire

    • 49-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) with a 5-point ordinal rating scale (possible range of summary scores: 0-196 with higher scores indicating more impairment)

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Patient satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction. Measure: questionnaire

    • Visual analogue scales (VAS) on ease of cleaning, speech, comfort, esthetic, stability, chewing ability, masticatory function, and oral health (possible range of scores: 0-10 for each item with higher scores indicating more satisfaction)

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tooth Loss and Edentulous Jaw, run by Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Apr 2021.
